Un buen relato de suspenso, corto pero bien desarrollado; contado como un relato.

[Allison Faught · Rating 2 out of 5]

I thought this short story was boring. Couldn’t get into it and didn’t even understand what the ‘twist’ was. I noticed that my mind was wandering while reading it and I couldn’t give it my full attention. In the author’s defense, I have a hard time reading English in a foreign dialect. It was written in English, but the words were spelled to accommodate an Irish accent. That always throws me off.

Es un relato breve, no entiendo porqué esta sinopsis dice que tiene 140 páginas. A pesar de su brevedad y de que la temática es demasiado sencilla y común, tiene una ambientación muy buena. Es un cuento clásico, hay que leerlo en su contexto.
